Yes, Tumtaster is not working at this moment. Tumblr pushed out a change and I’m working on fixing it. Stay tuned…
Edit: It’s fixed now.

Many of you ran into problems in the past few weeks with Tumblr Savior. Especially those of you who aren’t running the absolute latest stable version of Chrome. Well, Google is pushing changes to Chrome Extensions which spell the end of support of all extensions for versions of Chrome prior to v18. Do you want Tumblr Savior and Tumtaster to continue working on whichever version of Chrome you choose to run? Then you’ll want to show your support by starring this bug on the Google bug tracker.
If we don’t let Google know how important it is not to abandon extension support for older versions, Google will remove extension support for Chrome versions older than v18 in November. So click through to http://crbug.com/138740 and click on the star where it says Issue 138740 to show your support. Otherwise, in a few months you won’t get any updates for Tumblr Savior and Tumtaster on older versions of Chrome.
I’ll keep you posted on how things shake out. Thanks for your support.

Added an option to hide sponsored radar entries, thanks to @tjw in Indie While You Murder on turntable.fm for the idea and testing. His tumblr is proseposeur, let him know if you liked his idea.

New in v0.3.21: Fixed an issue with automatically unpinning hidden posts.
BTW, if Tumblr Savior runs into a problem and stops working here’s some things that will help me fix it faster:
Send it in an e-mail to bjorn@bjornstar.com and make sure to include which browser version you’re using as well as any other extensions that you have running at the same time. Don’t bother using Tumblr’s awful Ask system to send me the info, Tumblr doesn’t want you to do anything useful with the Ask feature.
If you don’t see any error text in the console, try turning on the whitelist and blacklist notices and disabling your other extensions. I’ll add this information to the official Tumblr Savior page.

By suggestion, I added an option to show tags when a post is hidden. So turn that on if you want an idea of what a post is about without having to look at the whole post. I also fixed an issue that appears to only affect Safari where Tumblr Savior would break if there were multiple original posts in a row by the same author. Would heartily recommend updating if you’re using Safari.

Hey folks, I just updated Tumblr Savior to v0.3.18 which might fix the issue for most of you, but it’s hard to say. Google’s developers have done a terrible job preparing extension developers for manifest_version 2. I guess I jumped the gun a bit and went to manifest_version 2 too early. Clearly there is a significant number of people not using the latest stable version of Chrome.
Looking at the comments from my last post, it’s pretty clear that v20 is the only version of Chrome that uses the current API. I’m not going to bother attempting to upgrade to manifest_version 2 until Google figures out what they’re doing with their APIs. In the end I think Google is going to force everyone to upgrade their copies of Chrome to v20+ and abandon all users and extensions prior to that.
At the moment I’m setting manifest_version 2 in the manifest and also including the background_page property even though Chrome gives a warning when I do that. I’m hoping that pre v20 versions of chrome will load the extension properly although I’m concerned that v18 or v19 will refuse to load the extension and that they relaxed the requirement in v20.
Bottom line is, upgrade Tumblr Savior to v0.3.18 and let me know in a comment on this post if the extension refuses to load for you. The bugs with it loading, but refusing to work should be fixed now.

Have you seen Tumblr Savior look like it does in this image? The update I made yesterday (v0.3.16) had a bug in it where if you removed the first entry in your blacklist, both black list and white list would disappear. As long as you didn’t hit save, nothing was lost. If you did hit save, I’m sorry.
v0.3.17 fixes this issue. It was only around for a day so hopefully it didn’t hit too many of you.

I just updated Tumblr Savior v0.3.16 with new “safer” code. Google has decided to force everyone to use manifest_version 2 by the beginning of November. For extension developers, this means Google has decided you can’t use convenient inline script like onclick and onload. Google is also outlawing eval. Additionally, you’ll get to run into purposely undocumented changes to the Chrome Extension API and useless debug messages to help you figure out where the problem is.
To save you the trouble of trying to figure out what’s going on, all instances of sendRequest and onRequest need to be replaced with sendMessage and onMessage. That’s what you need to do when you see the error message: “Port error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.” Yes, Chrome won’t point out the line in your code that has the problem. And no, there is no documentation indicating that this is what you need to do.

If you’re as irritated by the pinned posts as I am you’ll be happy about this release. I added two new options to help get rid of pinned posts. The first will hide pinned posts, this isn’t ideal as you’ll still see them for half a second as the dashboard loads. The second option is to automatically unpin all pinned posts, which will make them go away and not come back. I have no idea if this will work in Safari or Opera yet because I ran out of pinned posts to test it on so give it a try and let me know if it works.
Another way to hide the pinned posts is to add “promotion_pinned” to your blacklist and that should hide them as well.

Since I can never release without massive bugs and I wanted to add black listed words to the notices, here’s another Tumblr Savior release. Now you can turn on notices so you can see which words in a post match your black list as well as your white list. You can turn them on and off at will without having to reload your dashboard. Enjoy :)
In the photo I have shark black listed, but octopus white listed, so the post is white listed, but I get a notice that shark is in the post. I was tempted to use a picture of an octopus cake, but what kind of person puts cake on their black list?

I understand it can be a little confusing trying to figure out why Tumblr Savior does or does not block a post. I’ve added a new option to help you out. Tumblr Savior can now show you a small notification when a post has things from your whitelist somewhere in it. This way you be figure out which words are helping you and which aren’t.
This option is disabled by default, but you can enable it and it will take effect without refreshing your dashboard. That way you can turn it on when you are curious about a certain post. Please let me know if you like this feature. I’m considering expanding it in the future to also show blacklist words as that might be useful as well.
One more thing, my signing certificate expired for the Safari extension so it’s got a new cert. I’m not sure how that will affect automatic updates, but if you want to try the latest version and Safari isn’t updating automatically I’m sorry about that, I don’t know what to do about it. You may have to enter your blacklist in on the new version. I’ll work on having an import/export feature in the future.

Quick update for the Greasemonkey version of Tumblr Savior, I added tagged pages to the list of pages that it will check. I also made it so that it doesn’t care about upper and lower case in your blacklist and whitelist as I know that has caused confusion in the past.

Why can’t I sort my dash by file type?? For example - I would love to see just the music postings of the people I follow on tumblr so that I can grab some new music for my ipod. Why isn’t this possible???
When I first joined Tumblr I think you could do that. I’m not sure why they changed it.
It still works, but the pagination is broken and endless scrolling doesn’t function properly. This is how I get music - http://www.tumblr.com/show/audio/by/everyone
My Chrome extension, Tumtaster, fixes the pagination so you can use it, but I’m to lazy to fix it for endless scrolling. Enjoy.
Here’s a handy list:
